FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Connect with a reputable, top agent in your area of interest. Next, get pre-approved for a mortgage. Your Realtor will connect you with several reputable mortgage representatives. These are critical first steps to further understanding the current market conditions and your buying power. The three of you will make a strong team to find and acquire the home of your dreams. Let's get started by giving me a call....Gloria Streppone, ERA Central Realty Group @ 732-740-5034.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
First, connect with a top agent that specializes in your area. Review comparable homes that have sold in your development and the town. This information is key to selecting the right listing price for your home. Correct pricing is so important to getting the right buyer eyes on your property. Next, an agent that will work with you to STAGE your home and provide professional photography is worth their weight in gold. First impressions are everything when getting your home on the market. Working with your agent to create a detailed description sheet of your home and all it's current upgrades and features will go a LONG WAY to getting you highest and best offers on your home. A full-time top agent will keep on top of your transaction, providing continuous marketing efforts. I'm that type of full-time top agent. Give me a call at 732-740-5034
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
Being in the business for over 20 years, I've worked with ALL types of clients. Sellers range from condos to luxury properties. Buyers range from First Time Home Buyers, to trade-up buyers to Adult Community Buyers. I help the seller who needs to sell in order to buy regularly. This can be a tricky type of transaction and truly needs the assistance of a seasoned agent. Call me for any type of buyer or seller type need at 732-740-5034.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
There was an out-of-town Seller who needed a hands on approach to the sale of her parents estate home. My partner and I took this on as we always go above and beyond for all our clients. We helped them complete an estate sale to make money on items of value. Then we hired a company to remove old/remaining items. We brought in a reasonably priced cleaning person to make what the home had appear bright and clean. We then brought in modern STAGING items from our storage unit for no charge and made the home look fabulous. Maximum marketing, open houses, and continuous calls and follow-up resulted in a very good non-contingent offer. We helped the seller get through the Home Inspection Process and Township Inspections and got this to the table WITHOUT the family having to go the the house to assist as they all were out of state. They were extremely impressed and happy with our services.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I worked in Manhattan for 15 years in project management positions. I sold 3 homes during that time. With each sale, I felt I could have represented my home and completed the transaction in a much more professional and smooth way. Hence, when I had my first child and wanted a more flexible schedule, I decided to go into Real Estate. I've been a successful Realtor from my first year as an Agent...continuing on to become a Broker and even owned my own Real Estate company for a while. But helping my buyers and sellers brings me my greatest job and treating each transaction as a project to get them to the end goal with the least amount of stress and steps.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?

I first contacted Gloria a few years ago when we first were considering selling our home. My situation changed and I finally was able to list the house this past spring. I met with Gloria and Kim their presentation and knowledge of the current market was an enormous help in determining the sale price. They both also stepped up and staged the house. The photographer's presentation was phenomenal, and we had an above asking price Monday after the open house. Gloria and Kim helped me through a difficult time, and I cannot thank them enough for their help and professionalism. I highly recommend them for anyone's real estate needs.

Gloria went above and beyond. From her expertise in staging my home to selling it. She was extremely knowledgeable and kept me in the loop at all times. She was able to recommend contractors at very affordable prices. If you are looking to purchase a home or sell your existing Gloria is the way to go.

Gloria is an amazing realtor. She is professional, detail-oriented, and truly cares about her clients. Gloria goes above and beyond to sell your home at the price you want. She regularly checked in with me to monitor progress on projects to prepare the house for sale, and even helped move furniture with her colleague for staging. Her support was invaluable, and she was always available for questions or assistance. Gloria is honest, never cuts corners, and has an impressive knowledge of property codes and guidelines. Shes also well-known and highly regarded in the area. Her resourcefulness in recommending reliable companies for repairs made the process much smoother. I highly recommend Gloria for anyone looking to sell their home.

Gloria was very knowledgable and honest throughout the process of selling our home. She went above and beyond with everything, from cleaning out and staging to the township over the generator and the solar panels company.

Gloria helped us buy our current home - throughout the process, we always felt like she was on our side. In addition, we wanted to do some major renovations as soon as we moved in and Gloria had a great list of recommended contractors for each job. I believe that just telling the contractors that they had been referred to us by Gloria gave us an edge in terms of them getting back to us quickly and doing quality work.
